The Sixth Annual Cardboard Boat Regatta was held Thursday.
The four teams got 20 pounds of cardboard and 50 feet of duct tape to make boats and paddles. The rest is up to how creative they can be.
The goal is for each team to navigate through the course the fastest, and stay afloat the longest.

The race which is normally held on weekends was moved to Thursday to accommodate Saturday's Inauguration of incoming President Jo Ellen Johnson Parker.
